***Open Championship*** - Spieth v Kuch: not the matchup we deserve, but not the one we need either (1 Viewer)

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Getting a Jordan van de Velde vibe here.

 

[JAMES!]

But I think the better question (and panther's original) is why he didn't just play it off the hill. 

Deemed it unplayable. Didn't think he get it out of that stuff.

 

[Mister CIA]

Anybody timing this?

 

[Judge Smails]

What a meltdown

 

[pantherclub]

Jesus jordan how is that a better shot?

 

[Peyton Marino]

wildest #### i've ever seen

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Jesus. Just hit it

 

[McGarnicle]

Just hit the damn ball please.

 

[Mister CIA]

Rooting hard against this guy now.

 

[JAMES!]

Jesus jordan how is that a better shot?

Taking his medicine. Take the penalty and advance it down to a position where he save bogey. If he starts hacking at it in that crap and can't get it out it brings a big number in to play.

Oh how I wish mike Carey were explaining this right now - about the only thing that could make this better

 

[BobbyLayne]

That's a tough up n down for bogey

Kuchar went through three Snickers

 

[JAMES!]

Taking an unplayable and can drop it as far back as he wants keeping line of sight between where the ball was and the hole.

then the trailers were all in his way so got to drop to nearest point of relief. took forever but probably the safest thing he could have done.

John daly wouldn't do any of this crap

 

[McGarnicle]

Rooting hard against this guy now.

Oh don't worry, he's toast.

 

[GOB]

Rooting hard against this guy now.

Correct. But I've been doing that for a long time. 

Like since his tee shot.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

He was was whining and waving his arms right after the ball left the clubface..and the shot was fine.

Man up jordan

 

[BobbyLayne]

8 feet was about the best he could do from there

 

[James Daulton]

Solid save for Jordan.

 

[BobbyLayne]

pretty sure that would have been a snowman for me

nice 5

 

[John Bender]

I'm only half joking when I say they should let Kuchar play through on his own after 15 mins of that nonsense. So unfair to him. 

 

[JAMES!]

All world 5.

 

[McGarnicle]

Man up jordan

He goes full millennial when he's struggling. 

 

[BobbyLayne]

shot back but that could be a bit of a boost for Jordan

was that shot a half hour long? and we complain about TD-commercial-kickoff-commercial

 

[pantherclub]

All that for a bogey?  Those rules suck

 

[BobbyLayne]

well the hole took a half hour, right? I didn't time how long that ruling & shot took.

5 bogies today, +4 - handing it to Kuchar so far

got two par 5s coming up, gotta be aggressive to get back in this

I'll be shocked if Kuchar gets to double digits - figure Spieth needs to play the final 5 holes in 2 under to get into a playoff, (-3) to win outright

 

[BobbyLayne]

freaking nails

 

[McGarnicle]

HE'S BACK!!!!!!! 

 

[James Daulton]

Followed the debacle on 13 by almost holing it on 14.  Sink the putt young punk and go win this thing. 

 

[JAMES!]

Wow. If he wins this thing they'll call his decision to take the unplayable as the reason he won the tournament.

 

[John Bender]

Kids got alligator blood

 

[BobbyLayne]

two par 5s in the next 3 holes and Spieth is a far longer driver

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Solid save for Jordan.

I think the chip shot was way more difficult than the shot after the drop

 

[BobbyLayne]

I think the chip shot was way more difficult than the shot after the drop

that would have taken me 3 about 95/100 times - landing on the downslope, he had to hit drop it well short of the fringe

gonna be a gutty win for somebody today

 

[James Daulton]

I think the chip shot was way more difficult than the shot after the drop

Agreed, he landed that thing 15 ft off the green.

 

[pantherclub]

Kuchar has to be pissed

 

[McGarnicle]

Not good cooch.

 

[[scooter]]

So, would it be possible for a TV viewer to triangulate Spieth's drop to determine if the ball was really dropped along the line to the hole? And if so, does the R&A allow golfnerd losers to call in and influence the game?

Probably 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Get the #### out here

 

[BobbyLayne]

freaking nails!!

 

[McGarnicle]

No ####### way.  

 

[BobbyLayne]

what a beast

eagle on the 69th hole of the Championship

up by 1

 

[Grahamburn]

Love Spieth pointing to his caddy to get the ball out for him.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Spieth went from being a whiny ##### to a cocky ### in about 20 mins

 

[JAMES!]

What a beast.

 

[BobbyLayne]

that's up there with Hale Irwin's 50 footer at the 1990 US Open

had to be a good 45 feet, right? wow wow wow

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Freaking Spieth.  I love the guy, but he makes me so mad.  Ridiculous.

 

[JAMES!]

Kuchar has to be thinking WTF.

 

[pantherclub]

Kuchar has to be thinking WTF.

He got a raw deal for sure
